Is Hydroxyz commonly used to treat psychiatric disorders?

Answer by  DrFeelGood (259)

This is a good question. Before considering any treatment you should consult your local doctor. Just because a treatment works well for someone else doesn't mean it will, or is even safe for you. If you have any allergies or reactions that you know of let your family doctor know.
